The upgrades will make the interior safer and more accessible, he said.

Code-compliant stairways will be installed, and electrical and fire suppression systems, elevators and bathrooms will all get an overhaul. The current staircases do not meet the newest fire codes, which dictate escape routes allowing the statue to be evacuated within two hours in case of an emergency.
